Privacy Policy Plain and Simple:
We take legal compliance seriously at Dry Scientific.
Many politicians, lawyers, and policy makers have, in our opinion, have done a disservice to the public in
creating an abundance of legal requirements that confuse facts, obscure intent and truth, and complicate what is most important: keeping your privacy.
While some of these laws are good intentioned (and we are glad they are there) the act of fulfill the legal requirement results in a document that is complicated, filled with jargon, and difficult to understand.
Long and complicated documents are great for sneaking in clauses to get your legal permission to do some pretty fishy (but legal) stuff - That's the part that we really don't like.
The following summary is not legally required and is not legally binding, but is provided because we think understanding our intentions is important, and we want to be clear that we are not doing any fishy stuff.
Summary: We run a website, and we keep your data private.
Like all websites, it ONLY interacts with you IF you visit the website.

We have employees and employ the services of other individuals and companies. On business tasks we pay them to do, they may see, engage, or process your data on our behalf.

What we do with your information
We Don't Sell Your Information
We don't sell personal data relating to our users or user accounts.
Your jurisdiction may impart to you a right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.
This right is still your right and exists, but as we do not sell personal data or information there is no capacity to exercise your right.
We Use Your Information ("Process")
So if we don't sell your information, why did we collect it?
It turns out we collected it because we use your information to provide you services!
Our company is based off the concept of providing products and services to our clients and customers.
Most of our use of your information is really obvious. For example, our "subscribe to our e-mail insights" newsletter subscription box asks for
your email, and if you input an email there, we use that very email to send you our newsletter (Wow, what a concept!).
Humor aside, we also use your information for some less obvious reasons.
In the legal sense, basically any transfer, use or storage of your information
is considered "processing" your information.
For example: We "process" your information when we send you an email, such as when you request a password reset.
In the broader sense, our actions can be broken down into several categories:
Provide and improve our services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.
Here are some examples of when we use your information:
To create a user account after you click a submission button.
To log you into your account
To provide you services
To provide you user or account support
To send you legal and administrative messages
To send you marketing and promotional messages
To send you updates on terms or products you are engaged with
To request feedback from you
To determine if your account is being used fradulently
Identify usage trends and service interuptions
To ensure we are meeting our legal obligations
When and With Whom We Share Your Personal Information
We may share your information in specific situations where we are legally required to do so.
We may share your information with our employees, contractors, and other third parties who need access to your information to provide us services.
We pride ourselves on being able to do a lot in house, but as a small company sometimes we depending on getting a little extra help.
All of our contractors and third parties are required to follow this privacy policy,
we only contract with third parties who have demonstrated a commitment to information security on their own,
and we only work with third parties who have legally binding disclosure agreements on file with us.
Some examples include:
During buisness dealing involving a transfer, merger, or sale of our company or assets.
To our buisness partners who work for us.
Within our family of companies, which include parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.
We may transfer, store, and process information in many locations
We use a variety of technologies to help us provide our Services. The majority of these services are located within the United States of America.
However some of the resources we use may move your information to other countries, such as cloud storage providers.
If you are accessing our Services outside the United States, be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us on computer hardware owned or operated by
us or by other companies that we contract to provide us computational, data storage, and other hardware or process related services.
How long we keep your information
We keep your personal information for as long as you maintain an account with unless otherwise required by law.
Examples of requirements that last longer than your account may include tax or financial information, accounting, as assembled evidence for audits, or other legal requirements.
Our internal policy does not require us to maintain your personal information for longer than six (6) months past the termination of your user account.
Typically we delete your information immediately upon account termination, but may anonymize certain information to prevent impostor accounts or other fraud.
In some cases deletion is not possible, such as when the law requires us to keep it, when we need it to protect our rights, or when archives are in cold storage.
Please note that archival data is never used without undergoing deletion or anonymization first.
Cookies and Access or Storage of Information
Our cookie policy further details the use of cookies on our site, and related access or storage technologies.
Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, and most websites do not function properly without them.
If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies.
Connecting to our services without cookies enabled may result in unexpected behavior.
Advertising Affiliates (People who would pay us money to show you adds)
At this time we do not contract any of our services or web properties with interest-based advertising agencies.
There is no need to opt-out of interest-based advertising because we do not use it.
Saftey of your data
Information security
In short, we try our best. Information security is an ongoing and challenging discipline.
We have implemented strict and modern technical and organizational security measures designed to
secure the information under our control, including your personal information.
We furthermore only contract with third parties who have demonstrated a commitment to information security and have policies
that we believe are inline with our own.
Please note, that the world wide web (the Internet) is a world wide network of computers and devices, very very few of which we own and can control.
Electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Although robust and challenging, we cannot guarantee that governments, independent hackers, or other third parties
may be able to overcome our security and steal or modify your information. These same parties may also be able to
impersonate our Services and trick you into providing information to them, or purchase your information from other
sources that could be then used to authenticate your access to our Services.
Make sure your connection to the internet is done through a secure environment, and with a clear understanding of the risks involved.
Control of your data
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account,
you can log in to your account settings and make alterations to your account.
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
Review, update or delete information
Based on the applicable laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, change that information, or delete it.
Account holders may review, update, or delete the majority of the personal information we might have by logging into their account, or request though the contact form for an addtional search.
Individuals without accounts may request though our contact form.
Unsupported Features and Consumer segments
Features with undefined standards
Some web browsers, some mobile operating systems, and mobile applications include additional features that have not been standardize and are not widely supported.
For example, a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting indicates to website a privacy preference, or a dark mode setting indicate a visual display preference.
Unfortunately, many of these newer features are not yet standardized, and are cumbersome to implement.
At this time we do not guarantee support for any features with undefined standards, such as any mechanism that automatically communicates privacy preference.
We do expect our Third Party advertising companies to use reasonable efforts to respect browser DNT signals by not delivering targeted
advertisements to website visitors whose browsers have a Do Not Track setting enabled.
We, however, acknowledge that some companies do not have support for this.
To learn more about browser tracking signals and Do Not Track please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org/.
Children and Minors
We do not market or provide products or services relevant to minors or children.
Who is a minor or a child varies by jurisdiction, but we suspect it unlikely that people under the age of 18 years would have reason to use our services,
and we have most certainly not created a websites or online service aimed at children under 13 years old.
By using this website you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are an independent minor with full legal autonomy.
The parent or guardian of a minor may in some jurisdictions provide consent for the minor to use our Services, under which we will permit its use.
We have a prompt and strict deactivate and delete policy in instances where minors are using our services without appropriate consent.
To report a minor using our services without appropriate consent, please contact us at privacy@drysci.com with information that will enable identification of the minors account.
General Terms

We invest a large effort into legal compliance, and for online privacy this is a dynamic and chaotic discipline that frequently changes.
We may update this privacy notice from time to time, most frequently to maintain compliance with new laws or to improve its clarity and transparency.
The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
If we make material changes that grant or remove new rights and do not directly relate to legal compliance

At this time we do not have any servers or processing resources within Canada, nor any real and substantial physical presence in Canada.
However, having clients and users within Canada is likely to constitute a a real and substantial "connection" to Canada, and therefore we may be subject to Canadian law.
More specifically, we may be subject to the following laws and have proactively taken steps to comply with them:
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)
Canada defines express consent and implied consent within their laws, and specifies when each type of consent is required.
Express consent is necessary for installing "computer programs", a policy we agree with.
Computer programs confusingly includes the use of cookies and other technologies commonly used in providing a modern website.
To add further confusion, "express" consent has been defined to include instances where
"the person's conduct is such that it is reasonable to believe that they consent to the program's installation."
Under these definitions, your express consent to install computer programs on your system is granted by your use of our website.
At Dry Scientific we disagree with these definitions and formally state that:
cookies are data files, not computer programs
express consent as defined should be considered "implied" consent
express consent should not be necessary for downloading data files such as cookies, this is a setting where implied consent is reasonable and sufficent
However, despite our disagreement, we full comply with Canadian law as written. Despite the use of confusing definitions, its use in practice conforms to what we believe makes a safe and useful internet.
We process your information as you have given us express consent by providing that information to us.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by informing us though the contact form.
We have a legal obligation or right to process your information without your consent under the following situations:
When its in your interests and timely consent cannot be obtained
For fraud detection and prevention technologies
For business transactions under some conditions
For witness statements
For subpoenas
For warrants
For court orders
For court records orders
For literary purposes
For insurance claims
For artistic purposes
For journalistic purposes
For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
For victims of planned or realized financial abuse
If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

At this time the written law (and what we reasonably believe is meant by the law as demonstrated else where in Europe) and its interpretation by the Belgian Data Protection Authority and Belgian Courts are

This creates for us an incredibly risky situation in which our dedication to legal compliance cannot be assured by simply following what we read as written law.
As a result, we cannot provide our services to Belgian residents or individuals accessing our services who fall within the Belgian jurisdiction.
We have no real or substantial presence in the United Kingdom.
Within the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom and our listed Head of Information Security serves as the legally required Data Protection Officer (DPO).
